I would have bought a 7 if it were about $300 cheaper

I went and bought Sapphire Vega 64 after VII was released. I'm not spending that much on a GPU and Vega 64 is already good enough for gaming. It just needed the price drop.

You can get a Vega 56 for less than $/£300 if you hunt around (Got a Sapphire Pulse for £270 brand new in the UK with 3 FREE new games worth $/£100-150 if purchased separately. Although you can get the AMD Rewards code sold on Ebay for half that at least). It wipes the floor with the 1660 Ti. The 1660 Ti is much slower and a bit of a wet fart in comparison. But people will still buy Nvidia and think it's the best thing since sliced bread. My Firestrike Ultra score 3dmark.com
BTW on power usage. Unless you are restricted in your PSU or build (I am running on a 500w PSU at present). The difference is negligible. I am undervolted and overclocked to 1700Mhz and using a wall wart it measures between 50-100 watts more than the Gigabyte RTX 2060 Gaming OC Pro in that graph. It's nothing really.

I worked out how much power my Vega 56 GPU uses. Approximately. My total system power measured at the wall with a power meter is 110 watts under full CPU load.
When undervolted and overclocked whilst running an intensive game that also stress the CPU it measures between 430 watts. Take away 110 and there you go. 320 watts. The RTX 2060 under load uses around that and Vega 56 trades blows with it.

What voltage do you need to reach 1700MHz core? I usually just undervolt the core and overclock the memory, I haven't flashed a 64 bios yet though.
